This feature only works with the mobile browser version of Google. It won’t appear if you’re searching on a desktop, so make sure you’ve got your phone handy and are signed into your Google account. To play the game follow these steps:

Ad
  • Google search any Pokemon from the original 151 list
  • Once the result loads you should see a clickable Pokeball in the botton right of the screen
  • On selecting the ball you should get the animation to catch the creature you searched for
  • After catching it, it will be added to your Pokedex and you will be given a hint
  • The hint will be a silhouette of another creature from the Kanto region. This Pokemon is what you need to catch next
Ad

To begin, just type in the name of any Pokemon from the Kanto area. For instance, search for "Charmander," and a tiny Poke Ball icon will appear in the bottom-right of the screen. Click it, and there will be an animation in which the Pokemon is caught and added to your list.

After that, you will be presented with a silhouette of the Pokemon that you will have to capture next. You can search for that Pokemon and then continue. For example, after adding Charmander to your collection, you will be shown a hint of Pikachu, which is what you need to search for and catch next.

Some searches might need a bit more precision. If you’re trying to find Pokemon with common names like “Ditto,” Google might bring up unrelated results (like the dictionary definition). In that case, just add the word “Pokemon” to the search, and it should trigger the game feature.

Catching all Pokemon in Google Search game is simple in concept — search each name and tap the Poke Ball — but there’s a bit more involved when it comes to the Legendary and Mythical creatures.

Ad

There are five special Pokemon — Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, and Mew — that require Master Balls to capture. You can't just search for them right away. Instead, you’ll unlock them progressively as you catch more Pokemon:

  • After catching 5 Pokemon: You unlock Articuno
  • After catching 20 Pokemon: You unlock Zapdos
  • After catching 50 Pokemon: You unlock Moltres
  • After catching 100 Pokemon: You unlock Mewtwo
  • After catching 150 Pokemon: You unlock Mew

Each of these milestones rewards you with a Master Ball, which you will need to capture the corresponding Legendary or Mythical Pokemon. That means you’ll have to put in the work and catch a majority of the roster before the game lets you go after these high-profile additions.

Once you catch your first Pokemon, Google will guide you through the rest. After each capture, a silhouette of an uncaught Pokemon will appear along with a hint, similar to the classic “Who’s That Pokemon?” segment from the anime.

If you prefer a more structured approach, you can also look up an official list of Kanto Pokemon and search for them manually in any order — the game doesn’t require a specific sequence for most of the creatures.

This search-based minigame blends nostalgia with simplicity, making the Pokemon in Google Search game a perfect short escape during your day.
